Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems

C Gogolin, J Eisert - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-
body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

Topics and techniques in distribution testing: A biased but representative sample

CL Canonne - Foundations and Trends® in Communications …, 2022 - nowpublishers.com
We focus on some specific problems in distribution testing, taking goodness-of-fit as a
running example. In particular, we do not aim to provide a comprehensive summary of all the …

A survey on distribution testing: Your data is big. But is it blue?

CL Canonne - Theory of Computing, 2020 - theoryofcomputing.org
The field of property testing originated in work on program checking, and has evolved into
an established and very active research area. In this work, we survey the developments of …

[KÖNYV][B] Introduction to property testing

O Goldreich - 2017 - books.google.com
Property testing is concerned with the design of super-fast algorithms for the structural
analysis of large quantities of data. The aim is to unveil global features of the data, such as …

An automatic inequality prover and instance optimal identity testing

G Valiant, P Valiant - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2017 - SIAM
We consider the problem of verifying the identity of a distribution: Given the description of a
distribution over a discrete finite or countably infinite support, p=(p_1,p_2,...), how many …

Optimal algorithms for testing closeness of discrete distributions

SO Chan, I Diakonikolas, P Valiant, G Valiant - … of the twenty-fifth annual ACM …, 2014 - SIAM
We study the question of closeness testing for two discrete distributions. More precisely,
given samples from two distributions p and q over an n-element set, we wish to distinguish …

A survey of quantum property testing

A Montanaro, R de Wolf - arxiv preprint arxiv:1310.2035, 2013 - arxiv.org
The area of property testing tries to design algorithms that can efficiently handle very large
amounts of data: given a large object that either has a certain property or is somehow" far" …

Optimal testing for properties of distributions

J Acharya, C Daskalakis… - Advances in Neural …, 2015 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Given samples from an unknown distribution, p, is it possible to distinguish whether p
belongs to some class of distributions C versus p being far from every distribution in C? This …

A new approach for testing properties of discrete distributions

I Diakonikolas, DM Kane - 2016 IEEE 57th Annual Symposium …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study problems in distribution property testing: Given sample access to one or more
unknown discrete distributions, we want to determine whether they have some global …

The art of uninformed decisions: A primer to property testing

E Fischer - Current Trends in Theoretical Computer Science: The …, 2004 - World Scientific
Property testing is a new field in computational theory, that deals with the information that
can be deduced from the input where the number of allowable queries (reads from the input) …
